I wanted to bake, but when I went through my pantry, I realized I was completely out of granulated sugar (I know, for shame!). So, I searched online for an easy recipe using only brown sugar and since I was feeling lazy, I also wanted something that could be made in one bowl, and didn’t require scooping, frosting, or anything else that required much effort. (Maybe I should rename this blog baking for lazy people.)

And I found these. They are spectacularly easy, have a wonderful caramely flavor, and are nice and gooey. They most definitely did not disappoint. I doubled the recipe and baked it in a 13″ x 9″ pan with no problem, and used chocolate chips instead of nuts. I think this may be one of my new favorite recipes.

I make something very similar called Congo Bars (I found it in David Lebovitz’s Book of Chocolate). They taste even better after sitting for a day or two, but they are hard to resist for that long. They are very easy to whip up when I need a dessert but don’t want the hassle.

I’m glad you mentioned the chocolate chips. I hate walnuts. We eat congo bars at our favorite vacation spot. I think I will make these tomorrow. I am making no-egg Key lime pie for my sister’s birthday and these might be a nice addition.

I was looking specifically for a recipie for my excess brown sugar sittin’ on my shelf, and I used this recipie. Too easy to make. ‘Cept I used whole wheat flour and M&M’s in my mix cuz that’s what i hade sitting here. YUM!

However good and easy this redipie is, I found an instant family favorite and a request to “feel free to make more any time you wanna!”…

Made these on Thursday afternoon, put in dark chocolate and white chocolate chips. My hubbie took them to work the next day and came back with two left! He now keeps telling me to make them again! Great recipe.
